Learning that Frank 1

written a letter to his
North Canton. The Sun a

of
^ber of the family for the privilege
printing it. The letter follows:
Tuesday, March 6, 1923.
Dear Everybody:—This will be for
all of you in North Canton, and please
send it around. Just seems that with
whole days at our disposal there is no
time to write letters, or rather it is
hard to do it. So many people to talk
to, and now as I start, the orchestra
has started their morning concert, and
they play so splendidly that one must
stop with each piece.
We left Alexandria at 4:30 Sunday
afternoon. So we have had yesterday
and today to rest up after the most
strenuous part of our trip. Edna needs
it more than I do. She wan pretty
tired by the time we readied ihe Homeric. The boat seem* like home to
us now.
Aside from one letter from Dan. we
received our first mail on March 2nd,
and Herb's letter and Dad's and Dan's
served to waken me from sort of a
trarice and begin thinking about business again- Up to that time, it seemed
that 1 had none, for on a cruise of this
kind, all that is forgotten. 1 can't even
read the newspapers—everything is so
stale by the time we get it. except the
daily wireless reports, in other words,
be have for six ivccks been completely
out of touch with everything in this
world that under ordinary circumstance.- int-.Tisi- u-. Your letters you
see. ju.-t kind of broueht us back again,
and now I will lie anxious to get to the
European cities where wc are doing
business aud talk to someone whose
■ interests are mutual with mine.
Eyypt was very interesting to us for
it is a combination of great natural
-w beauty and historical interest, covering
' a period of 5000 years. I had a long
conference with Mr. Denairy, S. S.
secretary, to whom Mr. Pearce gave
me a letter, and have learned something of their plan for the future of
Egypt. They hace a wonderful opportunity but at the same time a terrible
task for there are 13,000,000 Mohammedans (out of a total population of
14,500,000) who like nothing belter
than to oppose progress and who secretly want Egypt returned to Turkish
rule. They arc making a start, however, at self-government and naturally
deserve and should receive thc support
of all nations in this most important
period of their national life. What
strange anomalies—at Heliopolis (suburb of Cairo) we saw the finest hotel
in the world (cost $7,000,000) and at
Thebes we saw children up to fourteen and fifteen absolutely naked—
just primitive savages—and that will
give you a good idea of both possibilities and responsibilities of thc new
governmitfit—great wealth in land, and
equally great poverty in education,
cleanliness, religion, etc. Thc small
towns consist of many houses that we
would clean out to put cattle or horses
in. Kilt they seem on the way to better things.
Luxor is a dream—fine hotel, most
wonderful hotel park 1 have ever seen,

TO SUN FRIENDS
It is with regret that The Sun
is obliged to go to press this week
without several advertisements
and a number of columns of news
which would have been printed
had the copy been received at this
oflice in time. Much of it was material that ought to have been sent
in much earlier.
The Sun will gladly increase the
number of its pages to carry all
the news and ads, but we can not
receive copy after Tuesday evening and guarantee to print, it.
We ask all the people of The
Sun's territory to co-operate in
this matter, realizing that we are
here to serve, but we must put the
last forms of this newspaper to
press on Wednesday afternoon at
2:00 o'clock

IT AM HAM
For Sixty Years Circle K Has Satisfied .Millions
After the D. W. Strausser advertisement appeared in The Sun quoting
prices on Circle K hams Mr. Strausser was constantly asked about Circle
K hams and why they had such a superior flavor.
"Any one who has used these hams
.will be interested in the facts," said
jfthe genial butcher and they are
these: Circle K hams are cut from
well finished corn-fed hogs and have
been properly sugar-cured by a par-
■aiftlar and reliable sugar-cured pro-;
eras that has been in use over sixty
years. The hams are then smoked
thoroughly over a hard wood fire. It
takes time to use this method, but to
that fact must be given the credit of
the rich mellow flavor, unlike the usual skinned ham which is often cured
in a hurry and obtained from large
co.irse hogs. We are offering these
hams at a low price," Mr. Strausser
mid with satisfaction as he thought
of the many pleased customers he
served with such a good article as
Circle K hams.
By actual count 684 men, women
and children entered tbe Community
House on Saturday night with doubt
in their mind regarding the ability of
the eight grade pupils of the North
Canton school to successfully produce "Mrs. Tubbs of Shantytown."
Several hours later they left the
building thoroughly convinced that
lads and lasses taught by FL C.
Rhodes more than "made good"—
they sent "Mrs. Tubbs" over the fool-
lights with a bang and covered themselves with glory.
A Pleasant Surprise
The play is a comedy-drama in
three acts of tbe pastoral kind and
the situations call for acting far
above the slapstick or screeching variety. Right here The Sun is saying
without the least idea of "taifying"
anyone that the play was the best
performance, given by novices this
newspaper ever saw. Many so-called
dramatic companies posing as road
shows couldn't hold a tallow dip to
the boys and girls of the eighth
grade.
Meet Mrs. Tubbs
Lois Rohr as Mrs. Mollic Tubbs,
the Sunshine of Shantytown, was a
gem. She fitted into the pa?-t as
naturally as water Hows down hill,
and her work was thoroughly high
grade.
Lucile Ramser as Miss Clingie Vine,
Mrs. Tubbs' lady boarder, was a pronounced success as a social climber
nn::ious to wear fine clothes and shine
in society. Pier acting entitles her to
a front seat in the Hall of Success.
Nora Rusher took the part of Mrs.
Ellen Hickey, a neighbor who bates
to gossip. "She was very clever, and
every person over the voting age has
seen several Mrs. Hickeys. Horn deserves warm praise for her ability to
enact the role.
Marjorie Manchester *was a pretty
young school teacher, Uiaydell Campbell by name. To start with Marjorie
is pretty, anil she looked .the part and
acted the part of a young teacher,
especially when the young roan of
her choice was around the place.
Fred Hall was Simon Eubbels, the
corner grocer, looking for a wife, and
a hard-hearted old stir-flint with several wives in the cemetery. He. "wanted to marry Mrs. Tubbs because she
was a liard worker, and he was willing to send her children to the orphans' home. But Mrs.. Tnbbs regarded his offer with contempt, and
Kubbels was getting ready Jo evict
her for non-payment of rent when
Miss Clingie Vine stepped in, paid
the old Shylbclc, and thus saved thc
day. Fied was a good .--ample of a
mean old cuss, and The Sun congratulates him on his performance,
bjt trusts he -will rever carry such
ideas into his everyday rife.
Charles Kern as Tom Ii Jordan, a
young census taker, in love with the
school teacher, has a tog bouquet
corning to him and heir, it is,

work. ,

"THE MESSIAH" AS SUNG AT EASTER
STIRS THE HEART OF ALL KANSANS
At a rcjoila:- meeting of Plain
Grange in the Middlehranrh .school
I'.oi'.-e on Friday ceiling forty candidates were given the first and second degrees by the Sponseller Ciange
degree team. This team i., well
trained and their work was high class
and was much appreciated by all who
witnessed it, including a number of
visitors.
The program was of practical sort,
although there were several features
that amused as well as instructed.
C. A. Pontius had for his subject "Is
the farmer who is always complaining of hard times and hard work a
detriment to business?" Ijke his
friend, Philetus Bumpus, known to
fame as The Sun Philosopher, Charlie
is also a philosopher, and in his talk
he urged his hearers to keep the
sunny side of their nature to the
front. He was aware, he said, that
everyone on a farm had trials and
tribulations, but he was a firm believer in the saying thai, "everything
would come out alright" with a little pu.-h and patience."

Notes of the Play
The singing of Grace Hanel between the acts was a real treat. She
is a pretty, winsome little miss of 10
years, and with the spotlight on her
she made a handsome picture. Mrs.
Clark Wehl accompanied her on the
piano. Grace made a big hit with the
audience.
The high school orchesra, E. C.

and the musicians were enthusiastically applauded.

E. C. Rhodes is entitled to the
greatest praise for his untiring efforts
in developing the youngsters into
stars. It is a man's job to train people for the stage, and it means many
hours of mental anguish, so it must
be a sourse of pleasure to him to know-
that those he had confidence in did
not betray that confidence, but came
across clean and fast, and thus won
the respect of the entire community.
Fred Frank of Canton Opens One In ,
the Rubright Block in North
Canton
"Why did you come to North Canton to open a store?" asked The Sun
writer of Fred Frank. "Because the
people are worth while and progressive and have a knowledge of quality
and style," replied the well-known
Canton merchant. "I have come to
help serve them, and a portion of
their patronage will be greatly appreciated. We are going to carry only
the latest styles in quality goods at
a price that is as low as possible consistent with beauty ann durability."
Mr. Frank, who is a son of the late
rohii D. Frank, the pioneer shoe mer-
i hant of Canton, has heen in the shoe
business on the Square in Canton for
l ine years, during which time he has
jained the confidence of his many
friends and numerous customers. He
1-as leased the store in the Rubright
i lock for a period of years, and will
i pen for business this Saturday morning. He will carry a line' of merchandise consisting of shoes for men,
.women and children, as well as Men's
furnishina's.
M. S. Shawham of Canton will be
in charge of the store and will move
to North Canton as soon as it is possible to secure a house for himself
and family. Mr. Shawham is a courteous gentleman and has been with
Mr. Frank for two years and has
been connected with the shoe business
all of his business life.
Mr. Frank wishes to say to the people of The Sun's territory that he extends a cordial invitation to all to
call in his store and examine his
stock, whether or not they are intending to buy, and that his ads in The
Sun will carry his message to the
people telling them of his efforts to
please.

Easter morning on the prairies of
Central Kansas is much like Easter
elsewhere in the great Middle West
—the same wide vistas of rolling
lands, greening fields, trees abtul, here
and there a lazy stream. Nor when
one drives along the upper Smoky
Hill valley, where comfortable farm
homes, touched a little by an Old
World quaintness, spread their richness, is it different.
1882, the first public appearance attracted the people of the surrounding
towns and each Easter since has seen
a steadily growing interest reaching

The Work of Generations
Fiji years Lindsborg has been developing its attraction, it has been
born into the present generation,
through childhood, youth and middle
life for thousands it has been .'. motif leading toward the day of gladness. To the public it means a single
concert, to the community it is an
expression of its life, The rendition
of the famous oratorio once a year
is an incident, the preparation that
has led up to it is an education.
Lindsborg is the center of a settlement of Sweedish farmers, lt has
one of the leading colleges of the
state, Bethany, where approximately
1,000 students are enrolled and whose
musical department is one of the best
known in the West. To Lindsborg
belong the Messiah festivals—they
are a part of its history.
Developed By Dr. Livensson
■\ On the campus of the college is a
Jfiltue of Carl Swensson, the founder of the college and one of Kansas'
great men, prominent alike in education, finance and politics until his
death. An associate, while touring
England in 1879, heard the Messiah
given in Crystal Palace. He brought
home the idi5:i of such an event in
America and Dr. Swensson developed it in Lindsborg, then a struggling
settlement: In December, 1881,'with
a choir of 100 voices, the first rendition was given of Handel's masterpiece among people of Swedish extraction in this country. At Easter
at maintaining a season of
i'.cra seem small and futile. ■
i eil'oi'ts
| grand
! The Lindsbrog chorus is an artis-
j tic body that would inspire the respect of any community, lt has splendid routine. Many of the singers dispense with tho score and rely on
memory. Why should they not,
since many of theiKl have been singing tlie Messiah for a quarter of a
century, and .some who took part in
the first performance 40 years ago
still letain their places in the chorus.
It is rather a family affair, this
choir of Swedish-American farmer
folk, and it is no uncommon thing
for three generations to be represented. From tr.e bass section more
than one grandfather has heard the
voices of his daughter and granddaughters among the sopranos and
altos.
Begin Practice In January
It is not surprising, therefore, that
this chorus attains a tone of surprising unity, and that in all matters of
rythmical and intervallic precision it
is unsurpassed. The quality of the
tone is beautiful. In al! massive effects it is of overwhelming sonority.
The sopranos are remarkable for the
purity, the flexibility and the smoothness of the tone produced and the
confident ease.with which they approach trying altitudes of pitch. The
contraltos share the delicious sympathy of tone quality common to most
American choruses. The tenors achieve
brightness and aggressiveness and the
bases are splendidly sonorous.

Tuesday, March 6, 1923.
Dear Everybody:—This will be for
all of you in North Canton, and please
send it around. Just seems that with
whole days at our disposal there is no
time to write letters, or rather it is
hard to do it. So many people to talk
to, and now as I start, the orchestra
has started their morning concert, and
they play so splendidly that one must
stop with each piece.
We left Alexandria at 4:30 Sunday
afternoon. So we have had yesterday
and today to rest up after the most
strenuous part of our trip. Edna needs
it more than I do. She wan pretty
tired by the time we readied ihe Homeric. The boat seem* like home to
us now.
Aside from one letter from Dan. we
received our first mail on March 2nd,
and Herb's letter and Dad's and Dan's
served to waken me from sort of a
trarice and begin thinking about business again- Up to that time, it seemed
that 1 had none, for on a cruise of this
kind, all that is forgotten. 1 can't even
read the newspapers—everything is so
stale by the time we get it. except the
daily wireless reports, in other words,
be have for six ivccks been completely
out of touch with everything in this
world that under ordinary circumstance.- int-.Tisi- u-. Your letters you
see. ju.-t kind of broueht us back again,
and now I will lie anxious to get to the
European cities where wc are doing
business aud talk to someone whose
■ interests are mutual with mine.
Eyypt was very interesting to us for
it is a combination of great natural
-w beauty and historical interest, covering
' a period of 5000 years. I had a long
conference with Mr. Denairy, S. S.
secretary, to whom Mr. Pearce gave
me a letter, and have learned something of their plan for the future of
Egypt. They hace a wonderful opportunity but at the same time a terrible
task for there are 13,000,000 Mohammedans (out of a total population of
14,500,000) who like nothing belter
than to oppose progress and who secretly want Egypt returned to Turkish
rule. They arc making a start, however, at self-government and naturally
deserve and should receive thc support
of all nations in this most important
period of their national life. What
strange anomalies—at Heliopolis (suburb of Cairo) we saw the finest hotel
in the world (cost $7,000,000) and at
Thebes we saw children up to fourteen and fifteen absolutely naked—
just primitive savages—and that will
give you a good idea of both possibilities and responsibilities of thc new
governmitfit—great wealth in land, and
equally great poverty in education,
cleanliness, religion, etc. Thc small
towns consist of many houses that we
would clean out to put cattle or horses
in. Kilt they seem on the way to better things.

The Sun will gladly increase the

Notes of the Play
The singing of Grace Hanel between the acts was a real treat. She
is a pretty, winsome little miss of 10
years, and with the spotlight on her
she made a handsome picture. Mrs.
Clark Wehl accompanied her on the
piano. Grace made a big hit with the
audience.
The high school orchesra, E. C.

and the musicians were enthusiastically applauded.

E. C. Rhodes is entitled to the
greatest praise for his untiring efforts
in developing the youngsters into
stars. It is a man's job to train people for the stage, and it means many
hours of mental anguish, so it must
be a sourse of pleasure to him to know-
that those he had confidence in did
not betray that confidence, but came
across clean and fast, and thus won
the respect of the entire community.
Fred Frank of Canton Opens One In ,
the Rubright Block in North
Canton
"Why did you come to North Canton to open a store?" asked The Sun
writer of Fred Frank. "Because the
people are worth while and progressive and have a knowledge of quality
and style," replied the well-known
Canton merchant. "I have come to
help serve them, and a portion of
their patronage will be greatly appreciated. We are going to carry only
the latest styles in quality goods at
a price that is as low as possible consistent with beauty ann durability."
Mr. Frank, who is a son of the late
rohii D. Frank, the pioneer shoe mer-
i hant of Canton, has heen in the shoe
business on the Square in Canton for
l ine years, during which time he has
jained the confidence of his many
friends and numerous customers. He
1-as leased the store in the Rubright
i lock for a period of years, and will
i pen for business this Saturday morning. He will carry a line' of merchandise consisting of shoes for men,
.women and children, as well as Men's
furnishina's.
M. S. Shawham of Canton will be
in charge of the store and will move
to North Canton as soon as it is possible to secure a house for himself
and family. Mr. Shawham is a courteous gentleman and has been with
Mr. Frank for two years and has
been connected with the shoe business
all of his business life.
Mr. Frank wishes to say to the people of The Sun's territory that he extends a cordial invitation to all to
call in his store and examine his
stock, whether or not they are intending to buy, and that his ads in The
Sun will carry his message to the
people telling them of his efforts to
please.

Easter morning on the prairies of
Central Kansas is much like Easter
elsewhere in the great Middle West
—the same wide vistas of rolling
lands, greening fields, trees abtul, here
and there a lazy stream. Nor when
one drives along the upper Smoky
Hill valley, where comfortable farm
homes, touched a little by an Old
World quaintness, spread their richness, is it different.
1882, the first public appearance attracted the people of the surrounding
towns and each Easter since has seen
a steadily growing interest reaching
over the entire Southwest.

The Work of Generations
Fiji years Lindsborg has been developing its attraction, it has been
born into the present generation,
through childhood, youth and middle
life for thousands it has been .'. motif leading toward the day of gladness. To the public it means a single
concert, to the community it is an
expression of its life, The rendition
of the famous oratorio once a year
is an incident, the preparation that
has led up to it is an education.
Lindsborg is the center of a settlement of Sweedish farmers, lt has
one of the leading colleges of the
state, Bethany, where approximately
1,000 students are enrolled and whose
musical department is one of the best
known in the West. To Lindsborg
belong the Messiah festivals—they
are a part of its history.
Developed By Dr. Livensson
■\ On the campus of the college is a
Jfiltue of Carl Swensson, the founder of the college and one of Kansas'
great men, prominent alike in education, finance and politics until his
death. An associate, while touring
England in 1879, heard the Messiah
given in Crystal Palace. He brought
home the idi5:i of such an event in
America and Dr. Swensson developed it in Lindsborg, then a struggling
settlement: In December, 1881,'with
a choir of 100 voices, the first rendition was given of Handel's masterpiece among people of Swedish extraction in this country. At Easter
at maintaining a season of
i'.cra seem small and futile. ■
i eil'oi'ts

! The Lindsbrog chorus is an artis-
j tic body that would inspire the respect of any community, lt has splendid routine. Many of the singers dispense with tho score and rely on
memory. Why should they not,
since many of theiKl have been singing tlie Messiah for a quarter of a
century, and .some who took part in
the first performance 40 years ago
still letain their places in the chorus.
It is rather a family affair, this
